Chords with lyrics
[CAPO ON 5TH FRET]
G+G
I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
C majorC
Walking down by the bay, on the shore
G+G
staring up at the planes that aren’t there anymore
C majorC
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
em
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
em
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
C majorC
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
em
Running into the dark underground
em
All the subways around create a great sound
G+G
To my motion fatigue: farewell
C majorC
With your ear to a seashell
em
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
G+G
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room
(G+G)
CHORUS:
G+G
Time together is just never quite enough
em
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
G+G
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
C majorC
We need time, only time
G+G
When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?
em
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
G+G
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
C majorC
All the time, all the time
G+G
Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn’t let me sign on?
G+G
All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
C majorC
I feel as if I were home some nights when we count all the ship lights
em
I guess I’ll never know why sparrows love the snow
G+G
We’ll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow
